cough at night with empty crop

[araceli]

trying to get some info from anyone who know if anyone does know. Chicken coughs at night, only at night. Has empty crop. Seems perfectly healthy all day. Eats, follows me around clucking her happy sound, weight is good. Been posting on this for some time. Checked in her mouth. When I picked her up she open up to breathe. As if she gets stressed I am picking her up for examination. So I look down her throat as much as I can. Looks dry. Pale with white lines on cheek area heading toward throat. breaths a quietly but strained while I am holding her. Kinda how a car struggling to start. eh eh eh ehhh, eh eh eh ehhh. If that makes any sense. Please share your experience, knowledge, or ideas! So much appreciated! My other posts have more of the details of what's been going on.

so disgusting, so I checked her poop this morning....FULL OF WORMS! Her butt is all pasty. She was Wazined 9 days ago. She is so infested I suppose they are just eating all her food.

Now you know why it's important to worm your chickens. Wazine only gets rid of large roundworms, chickens can carry many types of worms. I recommend that you purchase Valbazen liquid cattle/sheep wormer or Safeguard liquid goat wormer and dose all your chickens with either product. Dosage is 1/2cc for standard size birds, 1/4cc smaller birds given orally undiluted. Redose your birds again in 10 days with either product.
